I agree with that. They have changed and don't even put the weight on their Home/Office and Everyday paper any more.

One batch will be FP friendly, while the next may not. It's hit and miss.

I wanted a ream of 70-75 gsm paper for printing Filofax refills and the one HP batch was fine while the next wasn't (don't want to have to carry around too much weight in the Filofax and thicker pages make it too full).

 

Staple 90 gsm inkjet paper is fine if you want a thicker paper.

Most of the 120 and higher paper is meant for printing photos.

 

The best I had was from one of the one Pound stores that was doing 200 sheets of 70 gsm which were not only light but great for fountain pens.

 

The best way to do it is to go into one of the bigger stores and ask for a sheet or 2 of each to try.

Ryman's Bank paper was my answer for Filofax refilling. 45gsm; no bleed; no feathering and I don't give a toss about any see-through in notebook circumstances. Or any others actually. Great paper.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
